Review
"Dispels any number of misconceptions about the causes of wars and is shrewd in its analysis of the relationship between strategy and operations." -New York Review of Books
"This book was important when we were not at war. Now that we are locked in combat--political, ideological, and military--against terrorists determined to destroy our civilization, Angelo Codevilla s sweeping, incisive treatment of mankind s most persistent scourge is essential reading."
"A uniquely valuable commentary on war when it first came out, this book became a mainstay of my graduate students education until it went out of print. Now, thankfully, it is back, updated and enhanced by Professor Codevilla so that it is even better. While retaining its timeless parts, there is much new material containing keen insights on post-1991 events and current warfare. It should be indispensable to students of the subject."
PRAISE FOR THE FIRST EDITION
"Dispels any number of misconceptions about the causes of wars and is shrewd in its analysis of the relationship between strategy and operations."
"A wide-ranging, literate, and insightful work."
"A provocative review of the many verities about war."
"An astonishing achievement of compression . . . a one-volume book on warfare that is actually instructive."
